  1. Thats good news and widens the conversion possibilities in that case. Also a bit sad to have been told wrong information from GW employees. But oh well, guess each shop has its own rules.
  2. From what I remember what I was told, when they take pictures at events and advertise/cover it on social media and articles, if they accidentally label a miniature as Age of Sigmar for example, they can get in trouble for wrongly using the LotR IP and can get their license revoked. I guess somewhere in their license there are rules what they may and may not use the IP of LotR as. My guess is that they are not allowed to falsely label anything LotR related as Warhammer? I was told it has to do with the copyright of the product. I found out when I wanted to use some LotR stuff for freeguild conversions :/. I would have assumed since they own the license there would be no issue, but was told I CAN use warhammer 40k models for fantasy as a base for conversions since they own the full copyright, but I CAN NOT use LotR products. Even if heavily modified to look like AOS stuff.
  3. I fear few people here have experience with 4k team battles and it will be hard to judge a list since we don't know what the opponents will field either. In fact even with a lot of data points and 1v1 battles at 2k points there is a lot of discussion space of what works and doesnt work. You may have to wing this event at your own judgement
  4. As long as you stick with warhammer figures (AoS and 40k) there should be no issue. Using LoTR minis isnt allowed in official GW events due to copyright claims. Same with 3rd party miniatures.
  5. As much as I would love that, I think many of the ogor-like rumour engines are bits and pieces of the gargants. So i doubt they could fall under Order.
  6. Off-topic, so I'll add it into a spoiler. To get back on topic... Now when linking it back to the Hysh elves, I think, like you said, they got quite a zen buddhist influence to the way they are, where they almost seem like timeless and wise beings, yet, I am sort of missing the expression of love that true enlightenment embodies. I hope there will eventually be an army that sort of captures that essence in some shape or form. Right now it feels like all the elf factions embody a different aspect of the road to enlightenment, where the nurturing aspects are represented in sylvaneth, the connection of consciousness and the body by the idoneth and the practice of wisdom by the new elves. XD
  7. Wasnt there also a rumour of shadow elves? Reckon we can still expect those or were they the idoneth?
  8. I would assume that good sub factions would have a huge point cost in that case, kind of to discourage its use, but balance 2k battles if used at all? I kind of like the reasoning behind it. I personally have also said it before, but if we want more diversity in Age of Sigmar games, the community needs to have more power to balance stuff when necessary. GW is a busy company and don't have time balancing stuff, but on the other hand balancing also isn't their strong suit. I would love a system where people could take a kind of official exam with GW to access parts of their website to vote for point increase or decreases on every single unit and battalion in the game to either promote or demote the use of certain models and fix meta issues ahead of time. I know many people hate it. Lots of people seem to like it when they can dominate other players with overpowered builds, but personally, I would like to see the passion aspect of the hobby return more, where people play with the models they like rather than Army X that is good until month Y.
  9. Happy (early) year of the horned rat all! I hope GW capitalizes on it and releases new Skaven!
  10. I think many people underestimate the impact of throwing X dice, where X is the number you rolled during the charge and each 4+ is a mortal wound. Its like they are dealing an average of 3 mortal wounds per unit per charge even before any kind of battle starts. The odds of getting at least 1 amazing charge and wrecking an enemy unit is quite large. Not to mention charging heroes can be horrendous for opponents to deal with.
  11. Cities of sigmar is a large faction and warcry cards only fit like 8 different units per card. If they were to handpick favourites and release them in warcry it would likely create an outrage with dissapointed fans because fanfavourite unit X didnt make the cut but unit Y did. Also a reliable source mentioned a steam punk kind of empire release being worked on. I would assume for the image of warcry GW would prefer those units to represent the cities rather than the current outdated ones. I don't know why, but it tends to feel like you are trying to dump negative opinions/views as if they are proof or fact to get people riled up? I may be mistaken of course. Maybe you are dealing with issues in real life and its a spillover effect, but just relax! 😃 If anything, AOS is just a game, nothing to get so worked up about. On top of that, cities of sigmar is a relatively new side project GW completed in a very short time. If I am not mistaken GW had a fan design the whole book for them? Somebody please correct me if I am wrong. Either way, the entire tome is a passion project and may not have been considered or worked into other projects since most the stuff we see is being produced waaay ahead of their release schedule. If COS were to be in warcry the window between the start of the COS tome and the next warcry release may have been too short to be worthwhile for GW.
  12. With city of sigmar Ogryns and converted Skaven and Seraphon underlings and all of it organized by the great horned rat and we have everything any AOS player could wish for.
  13. Baldness is represented by 85% of the GW range as well. Ranging from Space Marines to Idoneth to various cultists. So if purity means to embrace the four armed emperor? I cannot say you are wrong. Being a bloodthirsty Khorne Berserker? Questionable. Stealing souls of the living? The only thing pure in spirit is the essence they steal. Like those artists that cannot draw hands, I am starting to believe a large fraction of GW's sculptors can't sculpt proper hair XD.
  14. I am looking for 2 handed weapons with arms and the ironguts maw icons (or simply complete Ironguts models). I have plenty of glutton bodies to use as a base. Anyone have any bitsor models leftover?
  15. A lot of ogor stuff is suddenly out of stock on the site. A new set coming?
  16. New rumour engine. I don't know about you people, but that looks as Ogor as it can get to me. The shield is the same as the one on the Stonehorn. Edit: My bad, it was already posted.
  17. I built 2 of each and 1 of the bruiser or whatever its called. It makes it convenient if you run smaller units some day as well.
  18. Does anyone know the base size of frost sabres? I am going through their scroll and did some calculations and they seem to be quite good for their cost. Deepstriking a big unit can deal quite some damage early on - on average 3 to 4 times as much as an ironblaster. They can potentially delete problematic units early. On top of that they can be buffed. So depending on their base size and ability to get in range they may be a solid unit. Perhaps even good enough to bring a sabre group of 12.
  19. I personally love that they are working on ogors with different facial expressions and features and think its a huge win. I also like the fact that he is almost fully clothed similar to the tyrant. Kind of curious what his rules look like. Also... I wonder what that trap will do.
  20. Thank you for the feedback! I got a hold of 2 Feast of Bones sets, so I might as well pick up a box of gluttons to build the unused Leadbelcher bits into actual models. I am currently building around 1 or 2 stonehorns, but I love the idea of an underguts army. I guess once everything is built and painted up its time to playtest a bunch to figure out what is more efficient :).
  21. The fact dwarves never been a huge faction in the past was already an issue, but I do have a few friends whom are absolutely crazy about dwarves and love the LotR-esque approach similar to what the old world used to have, but at the same time absolutely reject KO and Fireslayers. One being too futuristic, the other too 'barbaric'. I personally quite like that GW gave a new spin on old fantasy elements and modernised it to a steam punk quality, but I guess that a lot of people seem to want something that is more familiar to the childhood stories they grew up with. Sometimes I feel like Games Workshop is trying to reinvent the wheel by trying to push out ideas nobody has explored before just for the sake of being original and being able to copyright it, but then completely missing the mark.
  22. Hello everyone. I couldnt help myself to get some ogors due to their conversion potential and was wondering if any optimizes lists have emerged yet? I am also curious if leadbelchers are worth it at all?
